It is demonstrated that a supersonic airplane configuration weighing over half a million pounds while creating a maximum sonic boom of less than 1 p.s.f. can be designed. New experimental techniques are developed in the wind tunnel and experiments for the sonic boom measurements were carried out. Theoretical analyses were performed for the effects of sonic boom on structures and pollution problems associated with supersonic flights were investigated. Numerical programs were generated for the sonic boom propagations from the near field of an airplane in supersonic flight at high altitude to the ground, taking into account the nonlinear effects and the asymmetric effects due to lift and the spacewise distributions of lift and volume.
